thats why i said nearly , but by the way , i have a trouble , i got cc51p , i wonder if xba-1 and ue 600 worth a fight , i got all at nealy $80 each , cc51 is awesome no doubt , but i just wonder if these two worth a go . what happen when i get money i just cant help it , it gets on my head , got to spend it , and spend it nice . or it will get blown .

I only heard the XBA-1 briefly. It seemed good, I liked the signature better than that of the XBA-04, but not sure where it would rate following proper long-term listening tests.

I still have my original red one with copper memory wire . Terrible cable noise on that old thing but it sounds great.

Only the J3. I wasn't overly impressed with it.

Thanks. The EX1000 has that headphone-like out-of-the-head presentation that's so different from most IEMs out there. The K3003 is more intimate though it has excellent depth and width still. Signature-wise the K3003 has more bass (esp. mid-bass), similar midrange presence, and smoother lower treble (where the EX1000 has some emphasis). I also thought the K3003 had very good extension whereas the EX1000 didn't impress me in that regard.

Can't think of anything I'd rather listen to for $79 but it's not quite as far ahead of the competition as it once was.

Depends on how much bass you need - there are decidedly bass-heavy sets with good detail such as the JVC FX700//FX500 and Atrio MG7 as well as more balanced options (that are still not bass-light) - for example the VSonic GR07, Yamaha EPH-100, and Earsonics SM2.

It's rare for heavy bass not to affect the rest of the spectrum but if you're okay ordering internationally there's a number of choices depending on the exact signature you want - Fischer Eterna and Consonance, Xears TD-III, id America Spark, Soundmagic E10, etc.

Thank you for the help. OK I'm thinking of getting the VR06. It's cheaper than the id American Sparks since it has free shipping to Canada. The Spark will cost me an extra $18 to get it to ship to Canada. The E10 looks like it has good value but I'm willing to spend a bit more for going up a tier. Is there a big difference between the E10 and sparks or VR60?
